8502 - The time is counting down!


Got my tickets for my long weekend journey north. It'll be altogether too brief, but I see quality making up for quantity.

Expedia, you stink. Boosting the price of an airline ticked by $50, and then by an additional $40 on top of that. I hereby boycott your gleeful price-gougingness.

Priceline, thank you. I found tickets (with Allison's help) for $11 less than the pre-gouged amount on the abomination above.



If you haven't registered to vote, and plan to do so... I think folks have about 2 weeks left to get it set up in time.



Today is the Chinese Ghost Festival!



Random Scotto factoid: My brain translates exfoliate into defoliate, and I have to go back in my mind and shake the definition a bit, whenever I hear or read about skin care.



Moment of Lyric - mp3

The most tender place in my heart is for strangers
I know it's unkind but my own blood is much too dangerous
Hangin' round the ceiling half the time
Hangin' round the ceiling half the time

Compared to some I've been around
But I really tried so hard
That echo chorus lied to me with its
"Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on"

In the end I was the mean girl
Or somebody's in-between girl
Now it's the devil I love
And that's as funny as real love

I leave the party at three a.m.
Alone, thank God
With a valium from the bride
It's the devil I love
And that's as funny as real love
And that's as real as true love

That echo chorus lied to me with its
"Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on"

those look so tasty! i'm sure the pretty pastry bits on the outside help, as i have no idea what they'd taste like.

red bean paste is sweet, and very smooth consistancy.

wouldn' tmind saying howdy, if schedules synch up!

[identity profile] weezeroni.livejournal.com 2006-08-08 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
They look pretty and yummy, but bean paste doesn't sound that good to me...

[identity profile] weezeroni.livejournal.com 2006-08-08 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Only with bean paste!

I think I may have to trust the great scotto on this one. The only thing I can think of that he eats that I don't like at all is tofu. It's actually kind of creepy how similar our tastes are. Oh, except that I try to put bacon on everything :P.

[identity profile] weezeroni.livejournal.com 2006-08-09 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, he's not so much a bacon guy, but otherwise he has pretty sound taste in foods. You may be right :)

Hey, I like the *taste* of bacon, just not the source.

[identity profile] weezeroni.livejournal.com 2006-08-09 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Actually, all my bacon these days comes from things that gobble. Not THAT much better, but a start!

[identity profile] heartsarts.livejournal.com 2006-08-09 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
hey!!!!! how did you know about that?!?!

[identity profile] scottobear.livejournal.com 2006-08-09 10:21 am (UTC)(link)
it's on your profile page! :D 8/8!! easy to remember.. mine's 2/2!

I keep seeing little bits of hints about a vacation here and there -- but still haven't found out where exactly you are going, & for how long! I'll keep reading.

"journey north" is the first big hint so far. :D

[identity profile] scottobear.livejournal.com 2006-08-22 12:13 pm (UTC)(link)
hee! let me know, and I'll tell you where! :D

good to see the bee!
